Kendrick Lamar lit a fire under some of New York’s finest (and slightly dormant) MCs with his verse on “Control.” We break down the quality of responses. Who was dope, who was wack, and who should have stayed silent?

“I didn’t really have anything to say about it,” Drake says of the verse, which has so far inspired responses from A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$$, former Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson and too many others to count. “It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That’s all it was. I know good and well that Kendrick’s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.”
